Abstract :
The subject of noise generation in certain types of RF amplifiers is treated. The different physical mechanisms by which noise is generated within the amplifier are discussed. Expressions for the "effective source noise temperature" are derived for distributed amplifiers of the maser, parametric, and tunnel type.
